The peacocks are reliable storm barometers.

The mill started the ten hour run last Thursday.

Frank Bisbee made a business trip to Wausau last Saturday.

Two bears were seen near Plum Lake Station one day last week.

The Indians are marketing considerable maple-sugar these days.

A silverware agent was talking trade with the people here last Tuesday.
